This is true to some extent, but our SMRAM layout doesn't follow the
spec anyway. This is the reason I asked (I posted an RFC as a good citizen),
in the first place all of you, if you prefer SMRAM or KVM internal state.

Anyway if this is a concern, I can just save the interrupt shadow in KVM,
and migrate it, its not hard, in fact the v1 of my patches did exactly that.

Paolo, what should I do?

Best regards,
